Mini Strawberry Cakes

This post is brought to you courtesy of Goodies Co. Try new snacks for only $7 a month!

Do you have adventurous taste buds? Do you like to try new things? I love trying new foods and recipes.

It reminds me of being on a cruise with my husband last summer and every evening on the dinner menu was one “odd” item to try-escargot (snails), frogs legs, etc. Of course I had to try them each night…the boys didn’t believe me when I told them Mommy had frog’s legs! (Their Daddy had no part in that though, he’s not terribly adventurous when it comes to food…jumping out of airplanes, okay! Sushi-no way! lol)

The boys seemed to start off trying a wide variety of foods as babies but as they get older their little tastes become more and more narrow. Trying unfamiliar things is definitely not in their repertoire-even unfamiliar desserts make them turn up their noses!

Sometimes I resort to trickery and bribery to get them to try new foods. My middle son is a strawberry addict so I can usually get him to try anything with those as an ingredient. Like these amazing (and amazingly easy!) mini strawberry cakes.

These little cakes couldn’t be more simple to make and with strawberry season in full swing it’s the perfect time to try them out.

Super easy mini strawberry cakes with only 8 ingredients you probably already have on hand!

Speaking of trying new things, I recently heard about Goodies Co. It’s a subscription service that sends you new snacks to try each month! Subscribers to the Goodies Co. Taster’s Box receive a monthly box of 5-8 snacks for $7/month (includes shipping!) Customers are asked to review products they’ve received, and can accumulate points to redeem for a free Taster’s Box and other rewards. Since trying new snacks can be risky and time-consuming, the Goodies Co. Taster’s Box gives everyone a chance to discover their tastes.

I think I’m going to sign up for Goodies to get some new snacks for the entire family to try-who knows maybe the kids will find a new favorite!

Thanks to Goodies Co. for offering a special code to my readers! I’d love to hear how you like it if you sign up too!

(By the way-the kid’s wouldn’t eat these either-even with the whipped cream on top! So I had to take one for the team and eat them all by myself. Parental sacrifice!)

I LOVE this dessert! It is gorgeous and looks like something I can totally do. Strawberry shortcake is my favorite (really since my 1st bday party) so finding a way to make it without all of the junk at the store is awesome!!! Making this tomorrow!
